Buying into a big reputation in Cobh

THE publicly-quoted building firm McInerney's have housing developments on the go all over Ireland, and beyond.

In Cork alone, the company has at least five schemes in development or at the building stage. Their latest land acquisition is at Upper Glanmire although building there is months off yet, so details won't be announced until the spring.

In part, the strong level of interest provoked by just the mention of a new development is not just about the demand for houses but also about McInerney's reputation as builders.
